    ps: I originally wrote two chapters, but after finishing the second chapter, I felt it was wrong, so I deleted it.  I can't help it, so I'll just make one chapter for today. Please forgive me.  ¡­ Just when several bosses were praising the new fighting game launched by Taiyu Technology and were delighted that they were about to make a fortune, the technician on the other side who was drawing the motherboard circuit suddenly screamed.  "What's going on? Taiyu Technology has also changed the processor!" "What?" Hearing this exclamation, everyone's heart trembled, and then they couldn't care about this anymore, and they all ran over.  They understand that they have been fooled!  Taiyu Technology indeed had some backup plans. They must have known that all pirate manufacturers were eyeing their purchase lists, so they deceived everyone by openly building plank roads and secretly building warehouses.  On the surface, they did not purchase new processors in large quantities, but in fact they purchased them through other channels.  When the actual product came out, everyone found that after replacing the processor, it was already too late. No matter how we organized the supply of goods, we couldn't catch up with the first bowl of soup!  The boss of Xinyuan was also a little panicked. This revision was an excellent opportunity for new factories like him to seize the runway.  In order to prepare, he invested a large amount of money.  If this investment fails, just repaying the bank loan will be enough to bring him back to his original shape.  He suppressed his violently beating heart and asked in a deep voice: "Which processor did they replace? Intel? Z80? Or which other manufacturer?" Next to the original arcade machine that was torn into pieces, several technicians  The personnel were all pale, looking at the exposed rectangular integrated circuit on the motherboard with dull expressions.  "What are you asking about? Which processor did they use? They are all mute!" A boss was shocked and angry. Before they could answer, he simply pushed the technicians in front of him away and knelt down next to the motherboard.  Go up and check it out for yourself, "Actuarial Model 1 modification, what model is this, why has it never been, wait, why is it Chinese?" His last voice was sharp and high-pitched, like a female voice.  "Chinese?" The other bosses who were waiting anxiously around couldn't wait any longer. They pushed aside all the people blocking the way, squatted down one by one, stuck their buttocks and leaned their heads over, and soon saw the small piece of  Processor chip.  This processor is completely different from the traditional double-row pin package. There are pins in four directions, forming a dense circle of bright silver dots around the processor. No wonder the previous technicians never discovered it until they started to draw a full picture.  I screamed when I checked the motherboard circuit.  This rectangular processor, which is three centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters wide, is packaged in a black ceramic package. The boxy shape is soldered on the circuit board and can easily be ignored.  Sure enough, the surface of the ceramic package above the processor was engraved with a few lines of Chinese: Actuarial Model 1, Semiconductor Research Institute, Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Technology Center, 1980. ? followed by a row of product numbers: twc-0012690.  This, this is indeed a new processor that has never been heard of.  Several bosses raised their heads and looked inquiringly at a technician next to them who was holding a thick integrated circuit manual and desperately searching for information. The other person only looked back at him with panic and confusion, and shook his head.  "Is this from Japan?" Boss Wang said weakly in a dry voice: "The Japanese also use Chinese characters. I just don't know if it's from Mitsubishi, Hitachi, or Toshiba. They probably developed it, or else  We signed a secret research and development contract with Taiyu Technology and developed it specifically for them. "In order to facilitate export and reduce the fear of Western customers who are naturally afraid of communist countries, the Actuarial Type 1 modification used in arcade machines does not have the sickle or hammer engraved on it.  logo.  twc is the pinyin abbreviation of general-purpose microprocessor.  When everyone first saw the processor, they immediately targeted Japanese semiconductor companies and subconsciously ignored the possibility that this was a domestic chip.  No one answered his words.  If it is a Japanese company, even if it is developed secretly, it will put a company mark on the processor.  Being selected by Taiyu Technology is a big advertisement. No company will leave such a good opportunity without taking advantage of it. There will never be any chance that this product in front of you will only have these two lines of small Chinese characters and a line of product code.  Light board surface packaging.  But which company owns this semiconductor research institute cannot be found in the manual.  "What a shame! He said it was the latest integrated circuit information. He didn't even know about a new processor. What's the use of buying it!" Boss Qi looked at the technician who was still searching in vain and said angrily.  Feeling anxious, he grabbed the manual and threw it out angrily.  The technician who had been robbed of the manual turned his head stupidly and looked atThe manual was thrown to the other end of the workshop and stood motionless.  There is no processor, they are just piracy!  ¡­ The scene that happened in Xinyuan Electronics sooner or later also appeared in other electronic manufacturers that grabbed the first batch of offline arcade machine samples.  Hundreds of pirates, both Chinese and foreign, roared like them in different languages: "The latest version of the integrated circuit manual doesn't even have a processor marked, what's the use of bullshit! Who can  Tell me, where is this damn Semiconductor Research Institute and Integrated Circuit Fabrication Technology Center?¡± In anger, most of them turned their attention to Japan, guessing that this was probably a product developed by a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer.  Everyone knows that the Japanese have been winning in memory, driving out European and American manufacturers, and gaining a monopoly in the market, which has greatly boosted their morale.  Now the whole of Japan has a strong sense of mission and pride, feeling that this is a sign that the country has returned to an advanced country after the end of World War II.  They are ambitious and have been conducting processor research and development. They want to achieve the same success in this field as memory and completely replace the United States as a leading technology power.  Maybe this Actuarial Model 1 is a product quietly launched by a certain Japanese semiconductor company, using Taiyu Technology as a springboard to enter the market to test the waters.  Some people also suspect that this processor was developed in Taiwan.  The Four Asian Tigers, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. As Japan's economy began to take off first, the four East Asian countries and regions began to follow his example and embark on the road to economic revitalization.  Taiwan has been preparing for semiconductor research since the 1970s. It started as an OEM for Texas Instruments and Philips, gradually introduced a full set of technologies, and finally had its own semiconductor industry.  By October 1977, the first three-inch wafer factory was completed; in December, the integrated circuit factory was put into operation, and after June, the first self-produced integrated circuit was rolled off the production line, with a yield rate of 70%, compared with  The yield rate of the imported technology is even better, thus taking the most important step in Taiwan's semiconductor industry.  After four years of development, it is not an incredible thing for them to design a processor, and the use of Chinese markings is even more proof.  There are also people who suspect that it is made in Korea.  South Korea started almost at the same time as Taiwan, but unlike Taiwan, which learned from Japan in an all-round way and first invested in government investment and achieved results before transferring it to private enterprises, South Korea's semiconductor industry was able to develop entirely by introducing foreign investment.  In 1969, South Korea established an electronics industrial park, and then relied on low labor, land, and factory building costs to attract a large number of American semiconductor companies such as Fairchild to set up factories. By 1974, South Korea already had nine  A semiconductor factory wholly owned by an American company.  In order to do outsourcing for these foreign companies, we gradually introduced technology and slowly found our own way.  They are not aiming too high, but have been working hard on memory for ten years.  At present, it has the production capacity to produce 60-kilobyte memory, and the cost is cheaper than Japanese-produced memory, thus posing a certain threat to Japan's monopoly on memory chips.  ?????????????????????????????????????In terms of technical capabilities, it is also not a problem.  And South Korea is also a member of the Chinese cultural circle. Chinese characters are popular in the country, and important files and records are all in Chinese characters.  Using Chinese characters to mark the processor is in line with their approach.  Next down is Hong Kong, which moves much slower than the above two countries and regions.  It was not until 1977 that the Hong Kong government began to treat Hong Kong as its own territory and tried to transform from labor-intensive industries to capital-intensive industries.  It wasn't until Guan Fei pushed hard by competing with the Hong Kong government for dominance that the Hong Kong government finally strengthened its determination to develop the electronics industry and established several industrial parks in the New Territories and other places.  However, Hong Kong has the advantage of being a latecomer. The packaging and testing plants and integrated circuit factories established by several large semiconductor companies in Japan and the United States have been put into production.  Although there is no upstream wafer factory, which is a bit controlled by others, most of these factories use the latest technology.  As long as the design problems are solved, too advanced chips may not be able to do it, but processors equivalent to the level two or three years ago should have no problem.  The worst among the Four Tigers is Singapore. It was not until the late 1970s that they saved enough development funds and began to upgrade their industries. This was a bit slower than the other three countries and regions, making it the slowest developing country among the Four Tigers.  one.  Of course, without Guan Fei¡¯s intervention, Hong Kong would actually be holding back.  ?In the original history, the British government decided to treat Hong Kong as a domestic operation after several considerations., and saved enough development funds in the 1970s.  Following the breakdown of the Sino-British negotiations in 1982, the British completely gave up the idea of ??supporting Hong Kong's industry and began to raise it like a fat pig, preparing to kill the pig for meat before leaving. Eventually, it fell behind in the wild goose formation of the Four Tigers.  , and was eventually eliminated.  Today, although Hong Kong is lame because it does not have wafer manufacturing capabilities, it already has certain semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.  In the past two years, the demand for talents in various electronics factories has increased significantly, and the wages of technical personnel in the electronics industry have been rising steadily, making the electronics industry one of the most popular industries for employment.  There are nearly ten electronic technology schools and colleges and universities newly built or to be built in Hong Kong, which have initially educated a large number of electronic industry workers, technicians, and engineers.  This has established the general trend for future development.  The expansion of interests has made it difficult for the Hong Kong government to change its future development direction even if it uses administrative means.  With the three Asian Tigers, plus the leader Japan, there are as many as four countries and regions capable of producing processors.  In the absence of anyone standing up and publicly announcing that they developed this processor, it is indeed difficult to guess who developed this Actuarial Type 1.  From the day Block Warriors was released, Hong Kong¡¯s phone lines quickly became busy.  The number of local calls and international long-distance calls has increased sharply. Local calls are targeted at several large Japanese, European and American semiconductor manufacturers with processor production capabilities; international long-distance calls are focused on Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. By asking internal customers  , Ask close relatives and friends, and then go to each company to ask if they develop and manufacture Actuarial Type 1.  Electronics manufacturers around the world are screaming to the sky: Who on earth developed this processor!
